I often refer to our outdoor cat, Emma, as the coop kitty, but I didn't realize how true that was until last weekend when I found her in a most unusual place.
I headed to the coop to check for eggs and discovered her in the nesting box right beside Feather Legs! It totally cracked me up, but Emma just sat there looking at me like it was the most natural thing in the world for a cat to hang out in nesting boxes with a chicken.
Feather Legs didn't seem to mind her presence, except for when Emma thought she'd stick her paw through a hole in the divider between the boxes and give Feather Legs a little encouraging tap on the wing. Feather Legs wouldn't have any of that and gave Emma a good peck. Emma respectfully kept her distance after that warning peck!

After I had collected the eggs laid so far that day and was ready to leave the coop, Emma stayed at her post. I thought she would run after me and play like she normally does, but apparently she was serious about trying to lay an egg. Sometimes I think she believes she is a chicken!

oh, this is just too cute!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my! That's is just adorable and astonishing all at once!!
ReplyDeleteHow funny that she likes to hang out with the chickens like that.
ReplyDeleteWhat a funny post! We have two torties and they are by far the strangest cats we have ever owned.
ReplyDeleteShe has such character. I just love her. Deb
ReplyDeleteHow funny. I bet those boxes are nice and warm.
ReplyDeletesweet! my girls would give a growl!
ReplyDeleteHi Tammy
ReplyDeleteThat is just so lovely. It makes you think do animals have some sort of secret language between themselves. Have a happy weekend.

Emma is the cutest chicken want to be I ever did see:) Hug B
ReplyDeleteHow funny! It's great that Emma doesn't want to harm the chickens, and instead thinks she's one of them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photos!
ReplyDeleteGreetings, RW & SK
So funny! I have never seen a cat that liked to co-habitate with a chicken!
ReplyDeleteI think she may have found a new place to take kitty naps!
ReplyDeleteI love this - I bet it's all cozy warm! So cute!
ReplyDeleteIt is possible that she had already laid that egg, and remained in place to try and hatch it. Kitten-eggs take less time to hatch.
ReplyDeleteVery cute, your Emma looks like our Lucy!
ReplyDeleteThat is just adorable!!! She does look right at home. I cannot believe that she is not a threat to the chickens instead she is part of the "coop". Lol.....Love that! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteAwwww. I love your coop kitty.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that is one of the cutest things I have seen in a while. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat Emma is one cute coop kitty! I love that last photo of her, I think she's trying to push an egg out! Your girls are obviously quite used to her, as my chooks do not like our cat at all. Have a lovely weekend, S:)
ReplyDeleteOh, how precious! It's amazing how different species can be 'friends'. She looks very contented in her little kitty cave. xo
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that! She must feel comfy in the chicken house and I am glad Feather legs is keeping Emma in line. Cute photos! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat is a riot! What a cute kitty!
ReplyDeleteHaha! She looks so calm and content. I bet it's nice and cozy in there. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis is hysterical! LOVE it! LOL !
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely precious!! What unlikely friends :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha that is soo funny. Emma probably thinks she's part chicken and is trying to lay eggs too. I guess us seeing a photo of Emma is just as good as seeing Sylvester. Hope you're having a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey look cute.....:D
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully neat that the two accept each other!! Emma is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute is that!!! So is Emma a good layer?? ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping in at Cranberry Morning!
Our cats basically tolerate the chickens and vice-versa -- this is adorable Tammy. :)
ReplyDeleteHow funny!! That's awesome, you're so lucky they get along!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet girl Emma is! I never thought a kitty would be so gentle with chickens.
ReplyDeleteAwesomely cute and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteA-d-o-r-a-b-l-e!!!! I love Emma!! Cute, cute, cute.....totally made me smile....:)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. I just love this post.. Your kitty is to cute.
ReplyDeleteHugs~
I wonder who will be the first to complain about the neighbours!

A cat that thinks she's a chicken? That is TOO cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is the cutest thing ever.
ReplyDeleteLMAO!! I LOVE LOVE LOVED this post. Emma and fine feathered friends...whooda thunk!
ReplyDeleteAh that is too cute! I just got a new kitten, he turned up in our driveway wailing his head off.

Those photos just crack me up! You can't blame a girl for giving it a try..... :) Our rooster used to sit in the boxes and he looked so confused, he would make these little noises, get up, change boxes, sit down, then I think wonder what he was supposed to do. It was too much.
ReplyDeleteTammy that is just too darn cute !!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. I love it. I can't imagine our cat getting in a nesting box. And if she did I suspect it would cause quite an uproar among the hens!
ReplyDeleteOh how funny! Just adorable. I have a little stinker cat that, just for kicks, goes into the coop when everyone is about to go to bed just to cause a ruckus. She never kills them or hurts them, she just loves to make a scene! Crazy cats!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable, I just love it! GREAT photos :D :D :D
